public questions, differing according to
.eeIug, prejudice or interest, but on
one statesman they heartily agree -
stat is William EWaTt Gladstone. In
one sediment they all unite, that is
their love of freedom, their hatred of
oppression, their objection to privileged

be based not upon hatred and
defiance OF the clearly ascertained |
will OF the people, but upon that will |
itself, and because they regard Won as
the foremost leader of all English
speaking people throughout the world
battling for those sentiments. They
honor you because of the unenvlable
conflict between democracy and auto

The former.
